3 Scandinavian-Style Vegan Sandwich Recipes
Fish-Free Scandinavian Smoked Roe Spread
Ingredients
- 1 cup vegan mayo, such as Vegenaise
- 2.5 tablespoons vegan seaweed caviar
- 1.5 teaspoons white rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 8 grinds black pepper, more to taste
- 2 teaspoons water (optional)
Preparation

Cheese and Apple Crispbreads
Preparation
-
1
Thinly slice the apple and set aside.
-
2
Then spread a thin layer or mustard on top of each cracker and top with 1 slice of vegan cheese. Tip: I like to slice the cheese in half and place each half on top of each other to fit nicely on each cracker.

Top with apple slices and enjoy!

Scandinavian Potato Sandwiches
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized red skinned potatoes
- 6 tablespoons vegan mayo
- 1/4 teaspoons yellow mustard
- 2 tbsp finely chopped dill pickles
- 1/2 teaspoon dried dill
- 1/8 tsp paprika, regular not smoked
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt, plus an extra pinch for the potatoes
- 6 grinds black pepper, more to taste
- 1/3 cup cucumber slices
- 4 slices of sourdough or whole grain bread
Preparation
Notes:
It’s more common to use white pepper for these kinds of Scandinavian recipes so use that if you have it handy. Start with a pinch and adjust as needed. I used the vegan caviar from Ikea to make this recipe, which can be found in the refrigerated section at Ikea (right next to the non-vegan caviar, so it’s easy to miss!)
Smoked paprika is key here because we want to mimic that slightly smokey “smoked salmon” flavor so make sure it’s not sweet paprika or hot paprika because those spices will yield a different result.
Like I said above, I think the cucumbers are pretty essential for serving and they really tie everything together. If you’re not a fan of regular cucumbers, try English cucumbers and slice them very thin. They’re best cold, so store in the fridge until ready to use. This spread lasts for about 2 weeks in the fridge when stored in an airtight container.
